Vasconcelos' SCM conjecture for height-three homogeneous ideals
Vasconcelos' SCM conjecture for height-three homogeneous ideals
Let be a polynomial ring and let be a homogeneous ideal of height . Write for the minimum number of generators, let , and define the deviation of to be . Say that is generically a complete intersection, that is Gorenstein, and that the resolution of is pure. Finally, is strongly Cohen--Macaulay (SCM) when all its Koszul homology modules are Cohen--Macaulay.
Vasconcelos' SCM conjecture. If has deviation at least , is generically a complete intersection, is not Gorenstein, and the resolution of is pure, then is not SCM.
The text says that numerical computations and cited results support this conjecture and explicitly states that it is still open.
